The Missing Clerk Of the
&BiddefOrd Say
ingS Institution
Seen at St. John, N. B., by Par
ties who Knew Him Well.
He is Well Supplied with Money and
Thought to Have Gone West.

/ That Frank c. McNeilly, the Saco, Me-,
bank thief, passed through this city on Sun
day last there are at least dozen persons
ready to attest \ few minutes before 6
o'clock last Sunday morning, tall young
man, scarcely out of his teens, walked into the
clerk if he could have his breakfast imme-
diately. He said he came in on a freight
train. He had a gripsack, but no other lug
/ gage. His face was devoid of either mus
tache or beard, and he wore dark suit of
clothing with grayish overcoat He appear
ed very uneasy and paced up and down the
hotel office until bereakfast was ready
When he had finished the meal he pulled
from his pocket large roll of notes and
selecting a $50 United States bill, rendered
it to the cashier When asked if he had
nothing smaller he replied that it was the
smallest he had. The clerk noticed several
bills of larger denominations. Having set
tied his account he signed his name in the
hotel register in free hand. Thomas
Barnes, Syracuse, \. Y" He then asked
for a couch to be driven to the first station
on the New Brunswick railway, remarking
that money was no consideration. carriage
was procured from Hamm's livery stable
and the young man was driven to Fairville
station, a little over mile from the city.
He expressed disappointment atthe station
being so near the city, and begged the driver
to go with him as far as Westtield, % miles
further. He told the driver he had been in
Florida a short time ago, and intimated that
he expected to meet Il man at the station,
but was disappointed. He was going to
New York, he said, and intended to take the
steamer for the old country. When West
field was reached, the stranger entreated the
driver to take him to Mctdam, 80 miles fur
ther, offering him Sl00 if he would comply
The driver refused, and he was left at West
field station He paid the driver from a
large roll of bills. The instant the driver
saw McNcilly's photograph he recognized it.
He says he could not be mistaken, as he had
driven so far with him aud that the features
were clearly impressed upon his memory.
The cashier and clerk of the hotel say that
the photograph is undoubtedly that of the
man who get breakfast, Two or three
other persons who saw the suspicious stranger
assert that the photograph of McNelly in
possession of the police, bears strong re-
scmblance to him.
\ detective from st. John went to West
field yesterday, and learned that the fugitive
remained in the house of 4 man named Wat
ters all day. He appeared very nervous,
and did not leave the house until nightfali
Nothing further regarding his movements is
known in these parts.

A WATERY CRAVE.
Propeller Vernon Of the Northern
Michigan Line Gone to Bottom.
The Passengers and Crew About Fifty
in Number Drowned.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. so.
The steamship Superior, arriving last night
brought the first news of the wreck of a
large passenger propeller off Monitowac,
Wis. The wreck is probably that of the
propeller Vernon of the Northern Michigan
line due here Yesterday The owners here
consider the identity fully established. She
had crew of twenty-five and several pas
sengers, the exact number of which is not
known. Ii is supposed all have perished.
Capt. Moran of the Superior saw three or
-four RATS with men clinging to them; also a
small boat containing woman and three
men. Although he made every effort TO res
cue them the high sea prevented him rem
dering them any assistance. The Superior
herself was disabled requiring the crew 5
best efforts TO bring her to port.
The Vernon foundered in gale and no
one left to tell the story. Many will attribute
the loss to overlooking Without cargo she
was deeper draft vessel than any on the
lakes. Ii was impossible TO load her with
profit to the owners without making her un-
seaworthy. TO obtain great speed her build
er sacrificed buoyancv and stability.
Every experienced vessel man who saw
the Vernon after she was launched predicted
that sooner or later she would meet with dis
aster.
Finding of the pilot house of the propeller
Vernon by tug near Maniotwac, Wis, set
ties all doubts regarding the identity of the
lost vessel. Scarcely any other traces of
her cargo has been seen to day, and nothing
has been heard of those on board Ii is
feared that not one of the thirty or more on
board is left to tell the story of the disaster.
Capt. Hawkins of the schooner VIM. +.
Horne arrived this forenoon and reports pass
ing three dead bodies Saturday afternoon
about six miles southwest of Manitowac,
one woman with long black hair, and a life
preserver, and two men.
The captain of the steamer Lawrence esu-
mate the number ON board the Vernon at
about fifty
The steam barge Burroughs of Milwaukee
is overdue and many anxious inquiries are
received as to her whereabouts.
